Rocket for schools. This is rocket science: Basic rocket stability

Gary A. Crowell Sr. , 1994. На английском языке. Архив содержит описание программы и загрузочный файл программы. Motortut began life as a program called Motorvue, which was developed for use as an attention getting device at a rocket club public displays. Motorvue presented animations of the internal dynamics of a solid rocket motor. With the addition of more information screens, I finally realized that Motorvue had evolved into the basis of a...

Technical information report 30. Centuri engineering company, Phoenix, Arizona, 1970, 17 pages. This report has been written to help you undersant the scientific principles that affect the stability of your model rockets. It is not a "how to" manual on calculating stability. It has been written on the assumption that every model rocketeer wants to know "why" as well as "how to". Introduction What is stability? Rocket motions and forces in fligh...

NASA. Glenn Research Center, 13 pages. Flying model rockets is a relatively inexpensive way for students to learn the basics of aerodynamic forces and the response of vehicles to external forces. Like an aircraft, a model rocket is subjected to the forces of weight, thrust, drag, and lift. Separate slides show the forces acting on a model rocket during liftoff, powered flight, the coasting flight going upward and downward, and the final parachut...

NASA. Glenn Research Center, 7 pages. To move an airplane or a model rocket through the air, we must use a propulsion system to generate thrust. Different types of aircraft use different types of propulsion devices, but all aircraft rely on some type of engine to generate power. Rocket engines, internal combustion, or piston engines, and jet engines all depend on the burning of fuel to produce power. Burning a fuel is called combustion, a chemic...

NASA. Glenn Research Center, 13 pages. Flying model rockets is a relatively safe and inexpensive way for students to learn the basics of aerodynamic forces and the response of vehicles to external forces. Like an airplane, a model rocket is subjected to the forces of weight, thrust, and aerodynamics during its flight. Parts of a model rocket Stability of a model rocket Determining of center of gravity - cg Determining of center of pressure - cp...

XRV Rocket Chronicles, 5 pages. Reloadable solid rocket motors basically consist of a motor casing which is lined with heat resistant material and filled with a combustible propellant. The propellant is burned to provide high volumes of expanding gases, which are accelerated through a nozzle at one end of the motor to provide thrust according to Newton's third law. To help to contain these very hot expanding gases within the motor casing so that...
